Good afternoon GCES. We are currently experiencing internet outages. This means that our phone lines are also down. This may have affected teacher timelines to prepare information to send home. We thank you in advance for your patience.
The first two days of school were amazing. The students and staff utilized the days to begin forming positive relationships, establish classroom routines and procedures, and to get students acclimated with the campus.


GCES Staff had a powerful and uplifting two days of Professional Development. One of the highlights was the staff drafting or reconnecting to their "WHY", the reason they became and remain an educator. We're are looking forward to a great year!!!


Today we introduce our 3rd and 4th-grade teams.
3rd Grade: Ms. Brown, Mrs. Cormier, and Ms. Jackson
4th Grade: Mr. Leatherman, Mrs. Simon, and Ms. Viator
